IGEL and Carahsoft Partner to Expand Public Sector Access to Secure Endpoint Platform

Agreement Supports Secure and Scalable Endpoint Deployments in North American Government Agencies

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., and RESTON, Va. — August 21, 2025 —IGEL, a global leader in endpoint security and provider of the IGEL Secure Endpoint OS Platform™ for now & next, and Carahsoft Technology Corp., the Trusted Government IT Solutions Provider^®, today announced a strategic partnership. Under the agreement, Carahsoft will serve as IGEL’s Master Government Aggregator^®, expanding IGEL’s reach across the U.S. Government & Public Sector markets through Carahsoft’s reseller partners and OMNIA Partners and E&I Cooperative Services contract. 

“Partnering with Carahsoft offers streamlined access to the Public Sector through its trusted reseller partners, extensive contract vehicles, and vast partner network,” said Phil Eden, VP Channel Sales N.A. at IGEL. “Federal agencies are under pressure to modernize securely, and IGEL OS provides a future-ready, zero-trust endpoint strategy that delivers both control and flexibility.”

IGEL OS delivers a lightweight, secure endpoint environment built for DaaS, SaaS, VDI, OT, and secure enterprise browsing use cases. Its immutable, no-local-data architecture, built on IGEL’s Preventative Security Model™ and enforced through the Preventative Security Architecture™, directly aligns with Federal zero-trust mandates, helping agencies reduce risk while extending the life of existing hardware and driving down costs.

This partnership builds on IGEL's continued momentum and Federal readiness, including:

• IGEL’s ISO/IEC 27001 certification, which sets a new standard for information security across its platform.
• Continued education around proactive endpoint protection, including how IGEL stops cyberattacks before they happen.
• Major product announcements and use cases unveiled at Now & Next 2025 Miami, including the launch of the IGEL Managed Hypervisor to support legacy apps in modern, secure environments, the expansion of IGEL's Preventative Security Model™ through a strategic partnership with wolfSSL, with FIPS 140-3 Level 1 certification actively underway, and Federal-specific use cases for secure browser-based access in zero-trust environments. IGEL is already trusted by Federal, civilian, and critical infrastructure agencies to extend zero-trust into both IT and OT environments.

“As cyber threats grow more sophisticated, Government agencies need trusted solutions to protect data and ensure operational continuity,” said Evan Slack, Sales Director overseeing the IGEL Team at Carahsoft. “Carahsoft and our reseller partners are committed to delivering secure technologies that support zero-trust and modernization goals. By adding IGEL to our portfolio, we’re streamlining agency access to a policy-driven endpoint solution that meets today’s mission needs without added complexity or cost.”

Stratodesk is now part of IGEL, and Stratodesk customers will also have access to IGEL's future-ready platform through Carahsoft, enabling users to modernize endpoint strategy with a more secure, cost-effective, and cloud-ready OS.
